MEANING
कबके बाँधे ऊखल श्याम ।कमल नैन बाहिर ही राखे तू बैठी सुखधाम ॥१॥How long has Shyam been tied to the mortar? The lotus-eyed One is kept outside, while you sit inside the abode of comfort ॥१॥है निर्दय दया तोहि नाँही लागि रही गृह काम ।देखि क्षुधाते मुख कुम्हलानों अति कोमल तन श्याम ॥२॥You are merciless; no pity arises in you, absorbed as you are in household work. See Shyam's face withered from hunger, His body so very tender ॥२॥छाँड़ो बेगि बड़ी बिरियाँ भई बीति गये युग याम ।तेरे भयसों निकट न आवें बोलि सके नहीं राम ॥३॥Untie Him quickly; a long while has passed, as if ages and watches have gone by. Out of fear of you, no one comes near, and even Ram cannot speak ॥३॥जन कारन भुज आप बंधाये बचन किये हँसि ताम ।ताही दिनतें प्रगट सूर प्रभु दामोदरसौ नाम ॥४॥For the sake of His people, He Himself had His arms bound and, smiling, fulfilled those words. From that very day, Sur says, Prabhu became known by the name Damodar ॥४॥
